ARECA (Grouping of Irrigation Communities) totally opposes the concession increases of the wells of Caneja and Archivel, requested by the City Council to the CHS (24/07/2017)

The City of Caravaca has been extracting double the amount allowed by the CHS, which adds to the unstoppable increase of illegal irrigation, seriously detrimental to the nearest sources.

They denounce the total abandonment of the CHS, which has not solved the main demands of ARECA.

They will put in the hands of the Prosecutor's Office the most abusive cases of illegal irrigation.

Indeed, ARECA, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on June 13, agreed to submit Claims against, as the City Council of Caravaca intends to regularize for supply an excess of more than 500,000 m3 / year, which in fact are being extracted from two wells , Above the concession, exceeding by 52% what authorized.

In their Allegations, irrigators have shown that this remarkable increase in supply concession is not justified, that all alternatives have not been studied, that part of that water is irregularly derived from areas that should be supplied from Taibilla, Which are considered to be very serious, such as the vicinity of the Casco Urbano de Caravaca, and that in any case it should be aimed at reducing groundwater withdrawals, which also requires an effective control of illegal irrigation, which is not Making the CHS, because so far this year we have detected more than 100 hectares of new dryland irrigation stations, so that the patience of irrigators is completely exhausted.

For that reason, the Junta de Areca also agreed to put at least the most abusive cases of illegal irrigation in the hands of the Public Prosecutor's Office, which seriously damage most of the sources.

As for the supply from Caneja well, a very high volume (about 1,200,000 m3 / year) is extracted, in an unstoppable increase in the last 15 years, which in addition to the losses due to lack of improvements that have not been carried out In the networks, assumes areas very close to the Casco Urbano, such as the Santa Inés and Cementerio polygons, to Bonete, at a distance of 600 m from the urban center and outside the area of ​​the districts, when these areas are stuck at the end of the To the limit with Cehegín, they would have to be supplying Taibilla, as foreseen in the Segura Basin Plan, since the use of groundwater for supply should be exceptional in areas where no other resource, such as Taibilla.

This fact is considered very serious and must be corrected by the concessionaire already, as they have been asked to the Councilor of Agriculture of the City of Caravaca.

In addition, all the alternatives to the supply of districts and Cavila, that there are, have not been studied by the City Council of Caravaca, until a true supply of all the districts with water of the MCT, that for the moment " Neither is nor is expected. "

From ARECA, according to Alfonso Sánchez, "it can not be allowed that with water from the above-mentioned wells some areas around the Casco Urbano de Caravaca will be supplied, and we find no other reason than the greater benefit of exploitation of well water, Be a very cheap water in origin compared to that of Taibilla (which leaves at 0.69 euros / m3), and yet the end user pays the same (above 1.20 euros / m3), so this is Must correct now, so that the Taibilla is supplied with the maximum as per the law is planned and not the other way around. "

Thus Sanchez reiterated: "below Cavila to Caravaca should not pass a drop of water Caneja."
